Bitcoin mining center in the Hadsel municipality in Norway has finally shut down its operations last week, over noise complaints. However, the closure has spiked residents electricity bill by 20%.
According to a local report, the crypto mining center has been a source of frustration for politicians and neighbours alike. The power-hungry plant had consumed around 80 GWh electricity annually.
Further, the sound of fans running round the clock to cool down the computers, have been a source of great frustration to the neighbourhood.
“This corresponds to approximately the annual consumption of 3200 households,” the report from the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK), read.
